... and would you buy it again?

Mine was Lush Reindeer Rock Soap... and for sure!  Not right now because I still have a piece to use, but it's lovely

Mine was the Mitoq Anti-aging Moisturising Serum & yes I will be buying this again! 
I'm trying to get my hands on a Bottle from someone who doesn't want theirs anymore as it's too expensive for me... 
I do think it's worth the $140 but I just cannot afford it. 

This Serum made me look more youthful after a few weeks use!

Yes definitely next time I see it out and about I'll re purchase it but I'm in no rush as I have another mascara on the go at moment aswell.

Mine was the oxygen serum. Although I liked it a lot I don't think it did anything amazing for my skin so I prob won't repurchase.

Cool thread, Trudi!

Mine was Oasis Lips and Lashes which I won in a FB comp. It last for ages but I won't be repurchasing as it did nothing for me. 

Hope everyone's writing reviews for their latest empties!

Mine was the Tony Moly egg pore steam balm masque last night. It feels really cool because it heats up your face but I'm not totally sure if it did anything amazing for my skin.

this Rimmel 25 hour foundation keeps cropping up!

I'm trying to hard to remember, I even went through the bin and came up with nothing. The only thing I remember is either toothpaste or a plastic packet the Lush bombs come in hahaha

I had a bunch of empties I threw out together since I keep all until I want to blog about them.

The ones I can remember are:
- Skinfood mud masque - it was ok but probably won't repurchase
- Toni & Guy sea salt spray mini - I love this but I don't know how much the full size is
- Clinique Moisture Surge - I love this but during winter season

I did a whole blog post recently about my empties too.  :)
I have yet to write reviews on some of them here on BR though. I'm so behind!

Trilogy rosehip oil - and yes I would repurchase, already had a backup though.

I've decided to keep all my empties this year, as well as keeping a list which I do anyway.

I've got two cleansers that are both almost finished - a few more days and they will be gone! I love empties, can you tell?

Mallomiss maybe subscribe to the MitoQ email list if you aren't already? I seem to get offers from them now and again, might be worth keeping an eye on.

Trudi I found that it flaked off onto my face during the day, even though I don't rub my eyes or touch them. Initially I thought it might have been a bad batch so I tried the full size one and the same thing happened. Maybe it reacts to my lashes or something? ???? I gave the full one to my sister and she doesn't have that issue and loves it. If I were you I'd try and get a sample size first before splashing out on the large one in case you don't like it :)

always a good idea with more expensive mascaras! Thanks for that, flaking sounds awkward

I finished a small pot of Essano's Rosehip Night Creme last night.  I'm very glad that I bought their Treat Your Skin pack to test the products out before buying any full sized items, as this night creme did not agree with my oily skin.  It's a little bit too rich for me and caused a 'rash' of milia along my jawbone (under my chin) and across my forehead.  I won't be buying that again!

Oh my gosh Jessicka I thought it was just me with that mascara. I've been trying to write my review for ages but my experience is different from a lot of them so I thought I must be doing something wrong!!!

Yes that mascara Kirsty and Jessica. I am still trying to love it, it is a bit better now its drier but still... its not a product I will be repurchasing. Its reassuring knowing that not everyone loves it

The last products I emptied were - Carmex, Nivea Stress Protect, Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream, It's Skin Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

I also had the same problem as Jessicka regarding the mascara. Shaz let me try it when I stayed with her and I found it flaked all over my undereye area and tops of the cheeks. Which is disappointing because it made my lashes look amazing.

Bossy lux & primer, Trilogy age defying moisterizer,Bossy under eye butter, S&G Clean on me, Too faced better then sex mascara, Lancome hyponese drama mascara yes I would most of these again except Trilogy maye as a night cream except it's a day cream & the two mascaras one bc I have a back up of too faced & two bc they weren't that great it took me half way thru the tube before I could enjoy them they either clumped up or flaked. But once it dried out a bit they gave great volume but when they dried up they were on the verge of dying. So glad bc I'm now on my hg Jose Maran black argan oil Mascara

- Oasis Apple a Day
- Weleda Skinfood
- Living Nature Firm Flax Serum
- Karen Farley's Light Day Cream
- Moreish Bodywash ( so good but discontinued)
- Moreish Body Butter (good but discontinued)
- Trilogy Cream Cleanser travel tube

Trying to use up products and save on space. Would I repurchase, YES, YES, hmmmm, no, I can't, I can't and maybe. Oh and I didn't toss out the LN serum bottle because it makes a nice little travel sized bottle for thinner moisturizers and facial oils.

Isn't it funny how we get so excited about buying all the things and almost as excited when we finish them and throw them away? Lol.

Yes, I love making empties.  It's so satisfying using something up, especially if it's a product that takes a long time to use.

Today I used up my Skinfood exfolliating scrub, imperial leather body wash and la coupe syling creme.
Will definately be repurchasing the skinfood scrub and the la coupe but the body wash is definately not the best and i'm glad I have finished it!

My empties always seem to be skincare related. Makeup seems to take a lot longer to get through! I think the last empty I had was actually an ecoya candle. I already have another one to replace it though! So exciting lighting a new candle (how sad am I haha)

I finished my skinfood exfoliating scrub today, I'm off to buy more this afternoon thankfully. Since using this I've had no issues with dry patchy skin on my face! :)
My last empties (only yesterday) were Bossy Sugar scrub and Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.

My last product was some Living Nature serum but I keep all my product empties to take photos. I've got quite a collection now :)

I'll be buying more serum though. I'm addicted to the LN scent hah.

I opened a Trade Aid melon soap yesterday.  The box smelt so divine that once I put the soap in the shower I put the empty box back in my undies drawer!  Would definitely repurchase!

My last empty was Lush Rose Jam!  It is life for me so I have a stash of over three litres to last me till the next round lol.  Obsessed much!?  I sooo wish they would bring it in for good instead of it being a limited edition.

agh at LE stuff you fall in Love with Shana! I'm like that with Snow Fairy and (now) Prince Charming, and the Body Shop Raspberry. If/when they bring back Passionfruit I'm literally buying it all. The whole lot.

Getting close to finishing my Creme Brulee shower whip from Bossy, it is amazing and I need more, more MORE! Think the last thing I used up was my Garnier Miceller Water makeup removing wipes that I bought cheap in Aussie, would buy again but wish they were a bit cheaper here!

Today it was a tube of body lotion and the LOM shower gel. I thought I liked it but after a solid week of using it I decided that no I really didn't like it. Hnnng Prince Charming is calling me, why couldn't they do a 100ml of that!? I don't want to hate it D:

I think I may have gone off LOM too so will just put it away for awhile. Got my valentines goodies today! I've got old stuff I need to use up first!

No it's not my scent family either but the colour doesn't bother me. At first it just smelt like the Lush store to me but now I'm not so sure. It can live in the cupboard with Olive Branch for awhile lol.
